People who don’t think this looks good, cocaine is a hell of a drug

Oh please. The chest bumper is the dumbest thing. Also all black (AGAIN) is just blegh.

I really doubt it'll look that clean or spandex-y.

Yup, after re thinking about our discussions, and what we saw of the shooting ,what we know about Reeves sensibilities, pretty sure it will be a home made battle gear. With that idea in mind, assuming that we're right, what would be acceptable for you guys?

Voila. Could be wrong, of course, but when thinking about a Reeves Batman, that's what come my mind.

Should note the body model for that is the BvS renders you saw but I think it'd work really well.

Yup, It looks agressive and ready for combat in a city, it is practical and could be scary.

What I like it looks like something Bruce would use during his normal course of Bat-work but would obviously have suits designed for heavier combat when he's expecting to go up against someone like Bane or Croc etc...

I would really dig something like that. I just want a flexible one piece cowl.

I agree that would be best.

Pretty much.

Basically if (and this is a big 'If') Jett's info on the Batsuit is accurate, I'd put my money on Pattinson's Batsuit generally looking like the classic Year One/Hush Batsuit if it were drawn in Bermejo's hyper-realistic art style. So most likely it'd be made in a similar fashion to the Netflix-MCU Daredevil costume.

Ehhh I wasn't a fan of that suit. That was imo one of the weaker elements of an otherwise great show.

Daredevil is similar to Batman in that they are both meant to use speed and precision to their advantage. Matt's black suit was more aesthetically pleasing than the ab plate armor vest that wasn't anywhere near as form-fitting and sleek as it should've been.

I hope "homemade" amounts to a more stitched together look. I hope it doesn't mean pleather ab plates and salvaged SWAT vests

What's with the recent trend of giving him tiny ears? Give him long ears!

 

[harrier1215]

Long ears have never made sense. Not if Batman needs to duck in tight spaces at all or have any maneuverability or fit in a vehicle with low head room etc etc etc etc...

 

[rockandrollsoul]

I like this version of the Zero Year suit using the BvS suit as a base (obviously, lose the scarf / backpack and add the cape).

 

[batman_1989_]

I think that the bodysuit is gonna be similar to the one they used for Captain America

I don't need it to make sense of be "grounded".

 

[Maze]

I can sympathise with that. I love the long ears. Now, if we had somebody like Del Toro onboard, i could buy that we would get that kind of Bat suit, not so much with Reeves.

Sweet god yes.

And neither does a cape that can get caught on things, weigh him down, be used by opponents to grab him, or get in the way of fighting. We are talking about a comic book superhero, of whose existence not much stands up to close scrutiny.

However, the character's visual iconography is important and an iconic part of pop culture. If Batman's appearance is meant to strike fear into criminals as has always been a key part of the character's mythology, a distinctive silhouette and exaggerated appearance help with that in the dark. Dinky ears on a boring "realistic" suit just scream a man in a costume...

 

[Boom]

Long ears are dope, but would be a ***** to deal with when doing somersaults.

 

[Invader Joker]

Medium size ears.

Not thrilled about a super home-made, rough-looking Batsuit. I know we won't be getting a clean, spandex look for the new Batsuit, but I also don't want it to look like something that was cobbled together, made from scraps, or something that resembles a hunting/military outfit with a Batsymbol slapped onto it.

Bruce Wayne isn't Peter Parker. He has access to vast wealth, resources, and technology. I wouldn't expect his first/prototype Batsuit to be super sleek and fully formed (like his comics look), but even if he made/developed the suit himself, I would still expect it to look very competently/professionally made and relatively "complete", if not fully formed.

Great point. I think it can look like Bruce assembled it himself using high end equipment. The Arkham Origins Batsuit was meant to convey that specifically in the interviews the game's developers gave.
